    Quoted from Chicoman:

    He's in Texas. Have him goto The Burzynski Clinic. Dude is no joke....he cured my niece's Glioblastoma over 20 years ago and it has never returned. The guy is legit but the Texas Medical Board has been trying to shut this guy down for almost 30 years!

    FWIW, there is a feature-length documentary about Burzynski and his work, which I think may be available from Netflix.

    Quoted from Neuromancer87:

    Yeah, that's called a quack. Let's look at the evidence, shall we?
    1. No training in oncology, no board certification, who
    2. touts a nonscientific, unproven, and unapproved "miracle cure" made from piss (which he also says cures AIDS and Lupus), while
    3. falsifying records, exaggerating success rates, and bilking thousands from desperate, sick patients for his garbage curatives.
    Don't take my word for it though!

    My guess is your niece had an anecdotal and spontaneous recovery in spite of this guy's witchdoctery; many more have died gruesome and needless deaths. I'd like to think if I'm facing something as serious as cancer, I'm not going to bet it all on some charlatan with a snake oil cure.

    I was previously unaware of the "anti-" points you raised about Burzynski. I do recall laetrille being debunked, quite some time ago. But those who are desperate and have little to lose may try all sorts of things. (An "anecdotal and spontaneous recovery" can occur and be attributed to whatever.) Post #28 is correct, also.
